The Moon, Two Clear Nights

the Moon on 19 April 2010

The sky has been clear most nights this week so I've taken the opportunity to stand outside staring at the moon! These two are from 19 / 20 April :-)

Dandelion

dandelion, Taraxacum officinale

I'm sure the lawn will be more dandelions than grass before long. They're spreading like wildfire :-)

Crescent Moon, 17 April 2010

crescent moon from 17 April 2010

Taking photos of the Moon is becoming at obsession! This is the best of about 10 shots I took last night. I used the tripod and self-timer, f/5.8, ISO-64, exposure time 0.25 secs, exposure bias -2, max aperture 3.44. :-)

English Daisies, Bellis Perennis

Common Daisy, Bellis perennis

Most gardeners consider daisies a weed, but I don't mind them growing all over the lawn. :-)

The Slopes of Ingleborough

the snowy slopes of Ingleborough

Ingleborough is one of the three peaks of Yorkshire with the remains of an Iron Age hill fort and a Roman camp on the summit. Unfortunately I've never made it to the top, turning back three times thanks to bad weather. Maybe one day :-)
